I think I'm bipolar and the likelihood of that being true is quite high, seeing as how my brother is bipolar. If my mom found out she would be hurt and she would get extremely pissed at me. I've been trying to simply wait until I was 18 so that I could get help without her knowing but lately I've become highly bipolar, going from promiscuous manic states to suicidal depressive states. I have everything ready for a suicide all the time and it scares me that I probably will end up doing it someday in one of my depressive states. I'm a heavy cutter already.
For everyone who thinks I'm just being a typical teenager by saying that my mother will get pissed if she finds out, keep in mind that she hit me for talking to a boy about something other than schoolwork on the phone one time and that she yells at me every day for something.

Hun you need to see a Doctor and express these concerns to them, even about your mother.. MY mother was also bi-polar and i learned alot from her docs .. ppl are basically born with this disease.. some go all their lives never showing a sign, others at birth .. and some whenever, i was about 13 when my mother started showing symptoms. it was very scary as a child to me and was as an adult. i really think your mother wont be upset just scared and stressed, you say you have a brother diagnosed as well .. I'm sorry its a big strain on you and your family and then to have these feelings yourself is even scarier .. i know .. i have feared and felt them as well because of my mother.. Best advice, next time you go to the doctor even for a simple check up speak to him about it, tell him your concerns, tell him your fears, let him know you want help explaining to your mother all these things as well.

I understand. Mine called me a slut for a guy changing how he sat. Do you have any family or close friends you could live with? How old are you? Not to sound bad, but you need help, you know this or you wouldn't have come here. You have to get help, if that means leaving your mothers house and moving somewhere else, that is an option you should really think about. If all else fails, and this will sound really bad, but be very careful and ask small questions here and there in conversations. Talk to her about somebody at your school getting institutionalized, even if you have to make it up. Then ask something like, do insurances pay for things like that? It must be costing their parents a fortune? Do all cover it or just some, like would yours? Just ask various questions and make it sound like you are basically amazed that insurance covers things like that, ask about other things too, just hod back if you think she is getting upset. It is a last resort, but if you get to truly being desperate and her insurance covers it, go check yourself into a mental health facility. She cant touch you there and the doctors can help. All i can say is that you really have to work for it, and I wish you the best.

Try God.
Start attending a church, a youth group will help you build up your self esteem, and make you less likely to be promiscuous.
Just remember that a lot of people will enjoy you being promiscuous and will ridicule your attempts to seek help. SEEK HELP ANYWAY.
The key to most mental health problems is to stay in control of your sexual drive, because this does not allow people to put you down. Once you can stay in control of that and increase your self esteem, you may find a nice partner that will care enough about you to get to know you and have a decent relationship which may eventually become that close that you are intimate. Just be very cautious in the early days of recovery.... It will seem like their are a thousand people who want to get to know you ....... and all SEEM to be so sincere, and its hard to resist, but if you are bipolar, then you need to be ultra cautios and hang in there until someone has stood the test of friendship.
Good luck

My ex just committed suicide last month he also suffered from Bi-Polar and ADD. You need to seek professional help from a trained advisor. Do you belong to a church or perhaps an organization where you could speak to a guidance counselor and explain the situation so someone could lead you in the right direction of an advisable therapist. Depending on the area there may be a free hotline to call they are there to help and you can usually call 24 hours a day.

wow honey, you really need to find a way to get some help. first of all if your mom would be angry...well. she really needs help. im sure that the anger is a cover emotion-typically anger is the second emotion-for example, someone calls you dumb and hurts your feelings-first your hurt, but you jump to anger-sortof a defense mechanism. so i am sure that it probably scares her and so she hides that vulnerability with a cover of anger. try talking to a school counselor or a teacher or some adult that you trust. but you need to get help, because suicidal thoughts are bad, its a permanant solution to a temporary problem. be strong, and do what you know is right. itll be hard, but itll work out. and maybe it will help things between you ane your mother.

Some free clincs will allow you to go by yourself without telling your parents because you are almost 18. If you ever feel that down again, you can call the suicide hotline & they may be able to help you. Just trying to talk to someone in person helps. It helped me.

First of all, your mom would rather know that you are bipolar than you commit suicide. She will not be mad. Is she mad at your brother? Her hitting your because you were talking to a boy is not the same as being mad at you because you feel suicidal. At your age all kids get yelled at everyday. Be truthful and honest with yourself about why you get yelled at. I think you will find the truth in that. Also, you should just tell her or your dad (who ever you feel more comfortable with) you feel like you would like to speak with a psychiatrist (which of course you probably really do not want to). Second of all, stop confessing negative things about yourself. Try to stop thinking in your mind that you think you are going to commit suicide and get rid of what ever it is that you have ready to kill yourself with. I know this is easier said then done, but try to remember everyone that will be hurt by you committing suicide. Memories can be kind of sad, but think about all the good memories you can still make. Do not separate or push yourself away from your family. In fact, force yourself (because I know it will not be done naturally) to be closer to your family. Plus, you never know what God wants to use you for. Yes, I said, "YOU!" Believe it or not God calls us all to be His. Unfortunately, we have the choice to listen to Him or not. Believe me, I know how it feels to want to just die sometimes. I still do occasionally. Mainly I think it was because I just felt useless or something. I really don't know how to explain my feelings. Trust me though, find out for yourself who God really is and I gaurantee, if you truly desire to be helped, He will help you.

your mom might be bipolar, too.
See if you have a County Health department, call them, see if they can help. Depending on the reasons, they have the option to not inform your parents.
